agreed, i mean it is shitty that he hurt himself and that he now has to get surgery, but this thread was a tad premature. imagine if it was just a pretty bad bruise or something of the sort, you'd feel like a bit of an ass if you had to come back into the thread and say "uh.... yeah, so he just has a nasty bruise and a sore shoulder".
definitely ++ vibes for your friend though. i hope he gets better quick and is able to get back on the mountain soon
